+.SH "NAME"
+localtime \- Local timezone configuration file
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.PP
+/etc/localtime
+\->
+\&.\&./usr/share/zoneinfo/\&...
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+The
+/etc/localtime
+file configures the system\-wide timezone of the local system that is used by applications for presentation to the user\&. It should be an absolute or relative symbolic link pointing to
+/usr/share/zoneinfo/, followed by a timezone identifier such as
+"Europe/Berlin"
+or
+"Etc/UTC"\&. The resulting link should lead to the corresponding binary
+\fBtzfile\fR(5)
+timezone data for the configured timezone\&.
+.PP
+Because the timezone identifier is extracted from the symlink target name of
+/etc/localtime, this file may not be a normal file or hardlink\&.
+.PP
+The timezone may be overridden for individual programs by using the TZ environment variable\&. See
+\fBenviron\fR(7)\&.
+.PP
+You may use
+\fBtimedatectl\fR(1)
+to change the settings of this file from the command line\&.
